Research Interests

I have worked on various topics in quantum field theory, mostly on the formal side, which include IR modifications of gravity, lattice chiral gauge theories, and AdS/CFT. Recently I have worked on dark matter phenomenology as well. At the current moment, I am focusing on 1/N corrections in AdS/CFT and its applications to condensed matter systems, massive gravity in lower dimensions as well as on curved spacetime background, and Lifshitz-type gauge theories and gravity and their renormalizability.
